Hi, my name is papaya!

Hello. I have invisible disabilities, the worst of which currently is severe fatigue and brain fog from long covid. I'm housebound and looking to connect with others who might understand.

Hi Papaya, I’m sorry to hear what you are experiencing. I do understand how physically challenging fatigue and brain fog can be. I find myself getting scared and anxious when the braun fog hits.
i do have significant pain issues which are currently aggravated0 -
Good Morning @papaya, a very big welcome to you. I'm sorry you suffer from Long Covid, I also have Long Covid, am mostly housebound and have had 32 additional diagnoses over the last few years. I lost two nursing jobs because of my ill health and no longer work. I'm 62.
If there is anything in particular that you're looking for help or support with please ask at any time. Do you have family or friends or the support of a LC clinic? I'm quite isolated really and have found this Community to be a huge help to me. I hope you do too over time. Anyway, you're very welcome and I hope it becomes a good source of support for you 🫂 🤗.
